Slender-horned gazelle — size comparison — facts and sources
The slender-horned gazelle lives in Saharan desert areas. It uses dunes and scattered places where vegetation grows. It moves between feeding sites instead of remaining continuously beside one resource. Its pale coat and expanded hooves are features associated with functioning in this sandy environment.
It feeds on grasses and leaves. It often feeds at night and early in the morning, when temperatures are lower and plants contain more moisture. Food is an important water source.
It forms groups of males and females of varying size. Males may compete intensely, defending loosely defined territories. Both sexes have horns, although these differ in shape and thickness.
